What impressed you positively?

The medical student and Admissions Board member were very friendly and personable.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The Admissions Board member had to interrupt my interview in order to tell the factuly member (who was 10 min late), to lay off me a little...I believe his exact words were, "This is not how we do it here and we're going to have to have a discussion after this interview is finished." The faculty member fired question after question at me without giving me a chance to finish my responses. When I asked him to be more specific on one of his ethical questions (cloning), he came up with the above kidney question, turned to me, and said, "Is that specific enough?" Now I know this interview was probably just a fluke, but are you kidding me??? What kind of impression does this give to applicants?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Definitely study ethical issues and national health care issues. They will make you have an opinion even if you don't feel strongly about a certain issue.
